Both Ellie and Caitlyn started out as easily loveable characters with good intentions – Ellie wanting to help other people by making a cure and Caitlyn becoming an enforcer (less of a good thing, but yk Caitlyn's intentions were good in the start).
They were funny, lighthearted, and even silly you could say, but then their parental figures died, and that’s when their character did a complete 180.
With Joel and Cassandra's death, there was a wave of grief covering both Ellie and Caitlyn at first, before their anger took hold and they became unrecognizable in their rage and desperate need for revenge.
In the entirety of s2 of Arcane and Tlou2, Ellie and Caitlyn’s only goal was to hunt down Abby and Jinx respectively, not letting anything or anyone get in their way; Caitlyn pushed everyone away, only letting people who helped her to hunt down Jinx; Caitlyn was also fine with using the Grey, gassing parts of Zaun (and even if she did only use the grey on criminals that still doesn’t justify or excuse her behavior).
The moment Ellie got to Seattle, she started by hunting down Abby’s friends, lashing out at people close to her who called her out on her destructive behavior (Dina and Jesse), Ellie even went as far as to torture Nora, something that affected Ellie.
Ellie and Caitlyn were so gone in their need for revenge that they were completely blind and narrow-minded about anything else: their relationships; Who they were hurting; People who just got caught in the crossfire, their close ones, and themselves in the process.
Both were so deep in their own minds that they were willing to hurt children; Ellie threatened to hurt Levi if Abby didn't fight her (although I doubt that Ellie would have actually killed him, I feel like that's too far even for her).
And as for Caitlyn, she was willing to shoot through Isha as long as she got to Jinx, which It was obvious that Caitlyn wasn’t really thinking at that moment. I think in that moment she was so focused on killing Jinx that she didn't even fully realize how her shot would have to go through Isha first to get to Jinx.
Caitlyn and Ellie also did not have anybody for them during that time even though they did, let me explain:
So Caitlyn— Her mom is dead, while her Dad is a shell of himself. Jayce (who you could argue is like a brother to Caitlyn), disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. Caitlyn broke off her relationship with Vi out of anger, abandoning her. The only people who are left in Caitlyn’s life are Maddie and Ambessa; One is a placeholder for Vi (Since I highly doubt Caitlyn loved Maddie), and Ambessa is using Caitlyn to get what she wants while giving Caitlyn ways to direct her anger.
For Ellie— Joel died, leaving her already with an empty hole in her heart, and Jesse followed suit.
Tommy wasn’t in a place where he could offer support to Ellie while deep in his grief and anger. Dina was the strongest anchor Ellie had, and in the end, Ellie made the conscious decision to leave Dina, just to get to kill Abby.

I'm always on my Bruce acted like Damian when younger shit, but I'm also on my Oliver was eerily similar to Cass when young bullshit
Look, that man might have been stranded on an island for a year(s) but no other person would get into that situation and decide that the most reasonable choice was to dismantle the drug ring on the island with nothing but a bow and barely any training.
So I like to think that Ollie was always a little fucked, just uncomfortably wrong in a way that most people wouldn't understand. that actually being why Bruce likes him when they first meet.
Him being unnaturally quiet, not when speaking of course, it's Oliver Queen, no one can get him to be quiet when speaking unless he wanted to, but quiet in the way of being able to sneak up on people without even trying. Just appearing in a room and scaring everybody, even when someone is keeping an eye on him, he'll inevitably slip away and reappear a few hours later in a place that he's not supposed to be.
when Bruce and Ollie first met, Bruce liked him because he kinda scared the shit out of him, there was a look to him that just set off of the warning signs in Bruce's head and of course that means that he needed to friends with Ollie immediately.
And later, when Bruce's mouth inevitably got him into trouble, he never had to worry about what would happen after he won because Oliver would always jump in first. people learned very quickly that you can't fuck with one of them without the other being there too.
in the first few months of Oliver being the GA, Batman comes to Starling for something and tries to slip away after being spotted, but Oliver is able to hunt him through the city. No matter what Bruce tries, GA is always two steps behind and getting closer. finally Bruce is able to lose him at the edge of town (Oliver doesn't lose him, he just knows that Batman is leaving and sees no reason to keep going after him) and decides right then that the Green Arrow is never allowed within Gotham, that no other vigilante is allowed in Gotham.
Years down the line, after the JL is up and both of them are in it, Bruce questions whether he should tell Ollie that he's the Bat, but Oliver already knows, has know since the first time that they fought side by side, because no one has fit so perfectly beside him since those days in school. the days that he was the blinding sunlight in front, the fist that everyone paid attention to, so no one noticed the dark shape in the shadows Oliver had cast, the knife that you didn't even realizes was there until it was being pulled out of your ribs. of course Oliver knew that Bruce was Batman, he would have shot him with an arrow on that first mission if he hadn't.
#this is kinda just for me tbh#just started rambling and I like reading others rambling#so decide that I should put it here#dc comics#dc arrow#green arrow#arrow#bruce wayne#batman#dc batman#dc bruce wayne#arrowbat#bruollie#oliver queen#oliver x bruce#not technically a ship post#I just like the idea of them both being a little fucked#and finding a mirror in each other#tho I didn't go much into Bruce here#because a lot of other people already have talked about#cryptid batman#so I don't think its necessary#cryptid arrow

No okay but you guys don’t understand- the way SFTH bois are always always whether on purpose or not, in sync is everything I’ve ever wanted in life its so fucking cute-
Like when they’re doing expert, obviously the three are trying their best to be together, or mimic the same thing the previous person has gesticulated
But also- when they’re casually sitting in the wings, on opposite sides, watching the main stage, they’ll lean together in sync
They’ll cross their legs at the same time
Sam and Luke push back their hair together
AJ and Luke lean in the same direction when they laugh
Tom and Sam dip their heads to hide a laugh or disappointed at the same time
They follow hand movements, step backwards together, blend and flow around each other with such perfect synchronization you think its scripted
#anyways im obsessed#sfth#shoot from the hip#luke manning#alexander jeremy#tom mayo#sam russell#shootimpro#besties#platonic soulmates#forever and always together#in sync#mirroring each other#its so fucking cute#and its like ofc#because no matter what#humans are mimics#its just natural for you to pick up other peoples habits and motions#and adapt your own#its what we do to set other people at ease#to get them to like us#everything is unconscious#and when you work together/are friends for so long#its natural to be almost identical in movements#especially when your work requires that sort of stuff#anyway gods i love them

there are a lot of daddy issues to go around on DS9 in general, but odo, bashir and garak are really in their own special little fucked up 'what am I but wrought in my father's image' club
#star trek#star trek ds9#ds9#odo#julian bashir#elim garak#(I personally think we should put their dads in a cage match and let them kill each other. tain would probably win#but we could just shoot him after he claimed that victory. I Would Like To See It)#the triumvirate of bad dads to karmically oppose the sheer power of good dad vibes benjamin sisko has#specifically dads who Cannot and Will Not allow the healthy individuation of their sons into whole separate people#apart from what their father's hands have shaped them into#where that is one of the first things sisko accepts and realizes he must allow jake to do right at the early seasons#the bad dad club boys seem more specifically forcibly held in place to serve as mirrors for their fathers#and have to find ways to break away from that in more or less graceful ways; breaking off more or less important parts of themselves#to do so#dr mora seems to have a 'oh fuck.' moment where he sort of realizes what he's done#but the sympathy that gains him from me is hm. neglible lmao at least tain is basically fully just a monster#what's your excuse mora#I haven't met bashir's dad properly yet but I've seen enough to suspect I'm not going to be very charitably inclined towards him either

Hi. Dream nervous hops when meeting George in person for the first time.
#kore.talks#like I feel like we talk abt the meetup but we don't Talk About The Meetup#guys. when meeting each other in person for the first time they were both filled with nerves and anxiety#george holding his own face which he does when he's anxious and overwhelmed Dream hopping around giving himself pep talks#George saying This doesn't feel real.#dream showing his face to George for the First time ever and running to the mirror to make sure he looks nice#and George is bright fucking red hiding his face bc he can't control his smile and his jaw is on the floor the Entire time#and then they face timed several times for the weeks leading up to the meetup#and then compare it to sapnap meeting them like They were happy and excited but not like this. it wasn't terrifying and life changing#sorry i always put my best stuff in the tags I just feel comfier here

Finally back with some Arya art!! Feels like its been forever since last drew her i hate it 😭😭
also by the way just to be clear, Arya is in no way actually capable of beating Toby in a fight at all. If she ever managed to get her hands on one of Toby's hatchets it'd be because he threw it at her in an attempt to behead her and she ran off with it before he could take it back 💀
#rambles in the tags as alwaysss#creepypasta#slenderverse#creepypasta fandom#creepypasta art#creepypasta oc#oc#oc art#arya myers#this was just supposed to be a doodle idk how it turned into arya wielding an axe#but i am not complaining#ngl arya with an axe is kinda...👀👀#i mayhaps will expand on this. arya may perchance be gaining a secondary weapon#funny how tobys one of my all time faves and yet all my ocs hate his guts#like they ALL hate him and he hates them#arya and toby are too similar in the worst ways to ever get along though#which is what makes them so damn fun to me#put two obnoxiously mouthy and agro killers in a room and see who swings first#its like their entire dynamic they hate each other so bad lmao#plus arya is like lowkey scared she's gonna end up like toby one day#the thought of becoming like him terrifies her#she already hates how similar they are#its like looking in a fucked up funhouse mirror at times#can you tell i have chronic angst brain?

staring directly at sonic generations. classic metal sonic had a voice box. for one of the chaos emerald challenges, he demands (classic)sonic face him for the emerald. which means metal was originally created with a voice box, and presumably just. didn't talk much. neo metal sonic didn't give himself a voice, he always had one, and was finally using it -- but when eggman got his hands on him again after heroes, he took it away, alongside the rest of his autonomy.
and it just feels so needlessly cruel, doesn't it? I can at least understand why eggman would make him more obedient after being betrayed (its still a fucked up thing to do, don't get me wrong,) but his voice? that just feels like something eggman did for himself. a punishment, as if being stripped of the ability to act on his own will wasn't punishment enough.
#i love finding new and exciting ways to be sad over metal#also the way metal and sonic mirror each other in this aspect#how sonic didnt used to speak when metal was made with the ability to. how metal had his voice taken away but now sonic wont ever shut up#how narrow the window was for them to speak to each other. how they never got the opportunity.#fucked up#metal sonic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonic generations

every single expression trent makes in his first scene of season three is just so so good
#looking at screenshots again. the fond look when ted shakes his hand. the fucking puppy dog eyes. the puzzled borderline judgy eyebrows.#the small but genuinely pleased crinkly smile when he's welcomed aboard.#the look when he's intrigued about rebecca's thought process re zava.#the 'love that'. god I would die for him#also I'm obsessed with the way he and rebecca are sitting with their legs crossed mirroring each other.#makes me want to like... write a 40k word fic about them or something#Ted Lasso

Finally got around to making a base for reference sheets of all my Seraphim boys, so. Here they are~
Plus, went ahead and drew up my design for Bimmy boy~
(No, I promise they aren't all going to be black. 😅 But... still a few more of them are going to be, since so many Egos wear or are associated with black. I'll see about drawing up a more colorful one next lol)

kill me
(*wobbly tearstained voice* this is father & son richard plantagenet in henry vi part 3 1983 dir jane howell btw. which is. extremely good)
#HIM. DAD!!!?!?! YOU SEE#I thought the ian holm (1965) version of richard and york's relationship was devastating. I had no idea what was coming for me#henry vi part 3#shakespeare#richard iii#he just folds into the hug so completely and without trepidation even when he thinks he's being reprimanded. is the thing#'love forswore me in my mother's womb'#WHAT WAS YOUR DAD THEN RICHARD??? CHOPPED LIVER???????#*on my knees on the bare earth rending my garments and clawing at my bloodied face*#your brothers kind of suck I will grant you but they frankly seem to love you just as much or more than they love each other lol#I'm fine. the self-fulfilling prophecy and utter desolate isolation of abject self-loathing just got in my eyes again#I suppose a lifetime of your mum going 'shame of my womb' would do that to a motherfucker but STILL#honestly nothing beats moving through henry vi parts 2 and 3 before hitting richard iii. especially in this version#when you see the desperation verging on mania of york deciding to claim the throne reflected in his son later and it's like. ah. oh.#'not like the dam or the sire' are u sure about that margaret lmao#even the way richard will eventually do his asides are direct mirrors to how his father does it in this version#the matching limp after york gets wounded by clifford. the way they clearly share a sense of humour. *sounds of agony*#never have I witnessed a york I actually rooted for so deeply as bernard hill's even WITH that worrying intensity tho#among other high points of this version: a neverending cavalcade of some of the best noses you'll ever see in your life#also an unusual but SO fucking good take on richard. laurence olivier's version is certifiably Iconic of course (for better or worse)#but he is also like. transparently a disney villain haha I believe I coined the term 'murderscamp' to describe him#lots of fun to watch but it makes everyone else look like such absolute dumbasses for not seeing him for what he is#and lots of performances to my mind go way too far into the creep factor way too quickly#with ron cook's softspoken more believeably vulnerable richard from the outset it's easier to see how he flies under the radar#he's short and slight his voice doesn't rise that much even when he's in a rage and he's the softest with their father#you see how edward and george could still categorize him as their baby brother and not take him seriously -- not realize that some things#have uh. Shifted!! under the surface! over the years! in ways they probably should have been paying attention to!#to them he's still the kid warwick carried off stage on his shoulders.#frighteningly capable in battle but still more to be protected than protected from. until... god. augh. ow.

whats your take on marcille and pattadols post canon friendship? they seem to hang out occasionally in a couple of post canon shorts and i was wondering if your beautiful mind has anything more to add? youre amazing 💖
☺️ aha thank you so much!!! Pattadol and Marcille are sooo interesting to me because like. I think Pattadol is who Marcille would have become if her parents had both been long-lived, and she never had a reason to question elven authority. The hardworking attitude, insistence on sticking to a very rigid set of principles, a little bit of vanity in wanting to be recognized for her efforts... the slightly ridiculous uptightness and neurotic attitude at times, though at heart they're both kind people who want the best for everyone in their own ways.
In the post-canon, I'm assuming that Pattadol has her own ambassador's quarters in either the castle or the inner city, and the two of them grab tea at the castle drawing room/garden/whatever. I think they talk shop, soundboard ideas off each other, and gossip/complain a little about incompetent colleagues/problems... I think they're each others' dream work friends, honestly. Polite, competent, friendly but never getting overly personal, fun and pleasant to talk to. The fact that Pattadol's 82 and a fairly young woman by elven standards also plays into it, I think -- Marcille hasn't had another elf friend along the same maturity range and professional level of experience, so this is probably nice for her!
What I would like to see is them eventually developing a closer relationship. I think a lot about the way Pattadol reassured Marcille that, because of her accomplishments, she'd have a pretty comfortable sentence as a Canary. About the way, while there was tension because of what was happening at the time, they were both immediately very polite to each other upon meeting and kind of?? got along/clicked immediately in some ways?? It feels like they have the same kind of standards for themselves and others (as well as general inexperience and slight insecurity about their own competency, which probably makes them feel at more or less an equal level with each other).
And I think that'd be good for both of them -- having someone else that they admire, who also admires them in return and recognizes their talents and hard work. There's a very unique kind of rapport you build with someone that you hold as an intellectual peer and can trust to give you feedback that's actually reliable and up to par. While they might both be too professional to really become super close friends who can always be open with each other, there's a very real and deep kind of companionship that forms from this kind of trust, and I hope that's the direction they're heading in.
It's also extra delicious if you add in the tension of Pattadol inherently being a foreign agent from a country that isn't necessarily friendly, but they end up with that strange trust anyway... not to mention the thought that she might find herself actually admiring how Melini is growing and trying to defend it when reporting back to the queen.
#happy for them!!#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#dungeon meshi spoilers#dungeon meshi#marcille donato#pattadol#uptight blonde women lovers unite#phd buddies who go for coffee sometimes#it's so funny that the first time i saw pattadol in daydream hour i was like?? that's not marcille is it?? face is different???#it's so underrated how they're each others' foils and mirrors in a ton of admittedly low-stakes but interesting ways...#these keep getting so long im so sorry#asks#i don't write about pattadol much in a little creature because i think they'd both rather die than have pattadol get roped into the drama#imagine her nervously watching marcille turn more and more into a wreck and just going...erm...im very sorry this is happening to you...#and she's genuine about it but it's so fucking awkward bc. both equally mortified by the extent of the farcille dyke drama#forgot to post this last night whoops#marcilleposting

slightly unhinged late night raph rambles incoming

Thinking about how turtles feel pain through their shells (especially cracked shells) and how much it must have hurt Raph to take that hit. Wonder how long it hurt after the movie’s events or if it aches sometimes.
With the addition of how horrified Leo looks, really shows how serious shell injuries are for them, and again, they must really hurt



Like that went straight through, poor guy :(

Also his expression at the end here hello??? The resignation??? He looks so grim and with good reason! He’s in pain, last he saw his dad was hurt really bad, and he doesn’t know what’s next but he knows it won’t be good, but he still gets his brother to safety. I’m going to be so sick OUGH
Don’t even get me started on the Krang possession or how he was forced to fight his family or the stuff with Leo’s sacrifice because we’d be here all day—

Including happy Raphs below the cut to ease the hurt ajdkfkdkf





#the fact he must have been in so much pain but he still made sure leo got to safety first#and how he knew he was leaving himself in a dangerous position#I FUCKING HATE THIS MAN!!!#raph please#I suffer from a disease called rise raph brainrot#It’s incurable alas#seriously though he makes me SICK#they all do in their own ways but raph most of all#his expression at the end and when Leo is flying away says it all#HELLO#people sleep on all the fucked up shit that happened to raph in the movie honestly#because oh boy some fucked up shit happens to him#it’s been years and I’m still so normal about this scene (is not normal at all)#also leo and raph low key mirroring each other in that last one with their firsts raised#im going to explode them#also also he last saw splinter when he was injured badly so he doesn’t even know if his dad is ok :(#I’m probably going to look at this tomorrow and wonder why I posted it because it’s really sloppy#but someone has to be in the trenches with me#ok I’m done now goodbye :DDD#rottmnt stuff#soep saying stuff#rise raph#rottmnt analysis#leo's there too but this aint about him lol

#(tumblr continues to be a convenient place to keep my references)#(these are all from the movies - mostly the second one)#changeman#ref#no but seriously i love these suits#the way the girls mirror each other#the co-pilot pairs have matching visor styles while dragons is neutral and straight#the yellow accents on the boys - the leotard legs on the girls#i am ALSO a sucker for the big ol showa-staple badge slapped on the chest#i've seen mixed and middling opinions on their lil white crop tops but tbh they are fucking hilarious and i love them#but truthfully the best part of these suits is how they make tsurugi really tall/hayate really buff/ozora really short
